TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 18: Christmas cake for Christmas babies

Couldn't help myself🙈 Just done an ic an this is what showed up! 11dpo today 😬🙏🌈

Sorry @peachesarenom just seen you commented on dpo already. You are still early so 🤞 it gets darker!

@Beck1988 fingers crossed for you! Changes in my boobs (when I got my BFP) was the first thing to I noticed! 🤞
Congrats @martydog how many dpo are you? Hope you get a nice dark like soon.
@cakelaur that’s a good sign! Your HCG must be going up nicely.
Hi @tweedles1511 hope you’re hanging in there ok? I’m 2dpo and already cracking up...going to be a long TWW!
@peachesarenom is hard to tell. I find photos make it even harder to see. Fingers crossed tomorrow you get a nice clear line. How many dpo are you now?

@Martydog I see it!! Do an frer!!! Omg!! That cream is amazing!! I'm gonna find out from the gp today if we should keep using it. I'll let you know. I've sorted out a private one so they don't fob me off like the nhs has so far.

@Beck1988 I've only had one mmc. I just called Epu directly and told them and just said is there any way I can self refer to them and she said sure. She was so lovely. The blood tests I'm doing I'm paying for privately for my own peace of mind.

Thank you so much @Boboelephant*,*@weasledee, @peachesarenom, @Martydog, @strawberrye.

Really hope everyone on here gets a BFP soon. Xxx

So 10 or 11 dpo

Is 1dpo the day of ovulation or the day after?

@peachesarenom @martydog I'm in with u both poas tomorrow 🤞How many dpo will you both be?

Yes Martydog on to POAS thursday!

@peachesarenom. I'm not sure if I can see anything. But I guess we will both be testing again tomorrow. 🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀

I think I can see yours Martydog

Thanks SerenaOverjoyed I will just have to do another one tomorrow.

For now I'll have to take comfort in my heavy uterus!

peaches I might be able to see something but I'm not certain. How many dpo are you?

My personal feeling is that usually when someone thinks they can see a line there is one. A bfn is so starkly obvious

Pbvs meant now and you. DH says BFN now

I feel your pain Martydog I have got what I call a super squinter/bfn. Asked DH, he had a pained expression because he doesn't want to hurt my feelings but OMG, I think I've gone so mad that I know can't trust my own eyes, plus I'm also not sure! What do yoi think?

Omg @Cakelaur !!! Congrats congrats congrats. Am so happy for you. Been doing silly 21 hr days at work so got really behind on here but was so happy to hear this lovely news 👏👏
Am hoping our marathon also paid off but still no idea when i ovulated 🤦‍♀️ ah well!
@Boboelephant and all others on tww hope it is going ok 🤞🤞

@cakelaur it's great that the epu have Said u can have an early scan! How many mc have you had if u don't mind me asking? Really don't want to wait for 12weeks if/ when I'm pregnant! But with only 1 mc I didn't think they would let me have early one? Was gonna pay privately if they don't. X

@tweedles1511 thanks I am using the cream below.

Luckily someone off the Facebook page sent it to me for free. I think cakelaur is using that one too.
Thanks @lovewinemorethanhusband

Well cake there's not denying that positive now !, Martydog I can definitely see something there so fingers crossed for you x

Hi ladies,

I'm at that tough 7dpo point in the 2WW so just checking in to see how everyone's doing. FAB to see a couple of BFPs this month how exciting @cakelaur and @martydog.

I've been having some reflexology and the therapist thinks I might be a low in progesterone and I have a short luteal phase so wondering if anyone has any recommendations for progesterone creams? Which ones are best and where to buy?

Anyway good luck those testing and sending strength and positive vibes to those still in the wait...

It's great seeing all these bfp ladies it's clearly going to be a busy Christmas!!!!!

I'm not sure if I'm seeing things but I think I have a very very faint line. The photo isn't great but it looks like I might have a bfp.

Beck1988 My very pg friend complained of this early on. Hopefully it's too weird an observation to be anything else!! Fingers crossed for you

Cakelaur Wonderful news things are progressing. It's great the EPU offer reassurance scans, 2 weeks feels looong but (should) go quickly.

Thanks to Boboelephant, DaisyMay25, haleyfx, Daffofils86, and HidCat for the welcome and commiserations. It's great to talk about this with someone other than dh.

I've started cramping so I think I have my answer tbh. I was starting to hope a tiny bit I'd be sent for a scan and magicly there would be a healthy baby. Maybe, but probably definitely not.

Hahaha @strawberrye it could be the egg coming into the uterus trying to pick out a spot to implant in!

I'm a nervous wreck. Im going in for bloods and stuff this morning with a private gp and Epu have me going in for a 6 week scan in two weeks. I'm pooping my pants over that!

But I poas this morning for the clear blue fertility monitor and the pregnancy must be progressing (albeit rather late!!)

@Daffodil 5dpo here and feeling mega impatient too. I've been off today and was meant to have a productive day but have been so distracted googling everything TTC related. I blame it on a stitch like pain I got in my right ovary this morning which started me on an obsession of whether it could be implantation at 5dpo... nothing to do with the fact I was hot footing it somewhere in the rain at the time....

@flatwhite32 it's so lovely to hear a positive pregnancy story! Best of luck for the rest of your pregnancy

@flatwhite32 so pleased for you.
